Abstract
A Post-market, Multi-vessel Evaluation of the Imaging of Peripheral Arteries for Diagnostic Purposes Comparing Optical Coherence Tomography and Intravascular Ultrasound Imaging (SCAN). To compare the diagnostic performance of Intravascular Ultrasound (IVUS) and Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) imaging in the matched segments of peripheral vessels in patients with suspected peripheral vascular disease.
Highlights
Intravascular imaging plays an important part in diagnosis of vascular conditions and providing insight for treatment strategy
Imaging byOCT provides the physician with better visualization of some vessel and plaque chacteristics, but both intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) and optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging are safe and effective methods of examining peripheral vessels in order to perform diagnostic assessment of peripheral vessels and provide information necessary for the treatment strategy of peripheral artery disease
The time required for scans by either system was comparable, with no repeated vessel segment runs required in order to capture the images
Summary
Intravascular imaging plays an important part in diagnosis of vascular conditions and providing insight for treatment strategy. Intravascular imaging has been used for many years in visualization and characterization of coronary vessel morphology and presence of atherosclerotic plaque, resulting in improved success in treatments and clinical outcome due to better risk stratification [1,2]. Intravascular imaging can assist in the development or modification of a treatment strategies [4]. Such imaging has shown utility in posttreatment assessments, which can result in increased treatment success and a reduction in patient morbidity [5,6]
